Tokenizing a real world asset does not remove it from the legal system that already governs that asset. A tokenized share of real estate is still real estate under property law, and a tokenized bond is still a debt security under securities law, regardless of which blockchain records its ownership.
- Tokenizing real-world assets does not exempt them from existing legal frameworks; they remain subject to property and securities laws.
- Regulatory treatment varies significantly by jurisdiction, with regions like the EU (MiCA), Singapore, Switzerland, and the UAE developing specific or adapting existing regulations.
- Compliance, including KYC/AML, custody, and investor protection, is crucial and must be integrated into the design of tokenization platforms and products.
